PORT ANGELES — A U.S.
Customs and Border Protection
officer who is based in Victoria
and lives there was taken into
federal custody earlier this week
in Port Angeles on a charge of
fraud.
John E. Weaver, his wife and
their three children were disembarking from the MV Coho passenger ferry’s late-afternoon
Tuesday sailing from Victoria to
Port Angeles when he was
arrested by federal agents who
were waiting for him at the ferry
dock, said Andrew Munoz, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, which
investigated the case.

Spends night in jail
Weaver spent the night in the
Clallam County jail and was formally charged with fraud in federal court in Tacoma on Wednesday.
His wife, Joy Weaver, was not
taken into custody in Port Angeles but was charged Wednesday
with the same felony as her husband.
It is punishable by up to 10
years in prison and a $250,000
fine.
John Weaver allegedly submitted more than $8,000 in false

education allowance, Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in Seattle, said
in a statement.
Federal employees are eligible
for the allowance for their minor
children when they are stationed
in foreign countries.
John Weaver had been
assigned to desk duty during the
investigation and has been placed
on paid administrative leave,
Langlie said.
As a preclearance officer, he
screened passengers at the Black
Ball Ferry Line terminal in Victoria before they proceed to the
United States.

“It’s just one of those bucketlist things I think we all kind of
had, and we said, ‘Let’s do it,’”
said Ruddell, owner of Ruddell
Auto Mall in Port Angeles.
“We’ve been planning on
doing this swim for a real long
time.”
Another motivator for the

8.9-mile adventure, Ruddell said,
is to “bring a little extra

Label founder
sorry for racy

RUSSELL SIMMONS

The “Harriet Tubman
Sex Tape” video was posted

are upset.”
He said he removed the
video after a call from the

Simmons added that he

he’s “sincerely sorry” to

Although Simmons

Meyer’s new love
When Stephenie Meyer’s name is mentioned,
most people think of her
Twilight Saga vampire
books and films. But the
author wants a new audience as a film producer.
Meyer
produced
“Austenland,” starring Keri
Russell and
based on the
novel by
Meyer’s
Meyer
friend
Shannon
Hale.
The film, directed by
Jerusha Hess, opens in
limited release today.
Although Meyer was a
producer for “The Twilight
Saga-Breaking Dawn” films
and the movie adaptation of
her novel The Host, this is
the first time she’s produced
someone else’s work.
“Austenland” is a romantic comedy about a single
30-something woman (Russell) obsessed with Jane
Austen novels who spends
her life savings to visit a
British Austen theme park.
Meyer wants to continue
to write but isn’t planning
any more Twilight novels,

which were set on the Olympic Peninsula, primarily in
Forks.
She said it is “possible”
but that spending so much
time on them “in some ways
completely burned me out
on that whole world.”

‘Abbey’ wares
Forget “Mad Men” modernism. This season’s style is
all about “Downton Abbey’”s
Edwardian opulence.
Millions around the
world have been seduced by
the strait-laced but stylish
world of the British historical drama.
Soon, they’ll be able to
take some of that style
home, getting lips as soft as
Lady Mary’s, wine inspired
by Lord Grantham’s favorite
tipple and even walls as gray
as Mrs. Patmore’s kitchen.
Since it premiered in
2010, the series about the
family and servants of a
grand English house in the
1910s and ’20s has become a
television juggernaut, sold to
220 territories globally.
Along with the fourth
season starting on British
TV next month, and on PBS
in January, comes a range of
merchandise that includes a
board game, homewares,
clothes, beauty products and
even “Downton” wine.
All in the best possible
taste, of course.

SAN DIEGO — The California man who abducted a teenage family friend and tortured
her mother and 8-year-old

the hours before the slaying.
Exactly how James Lee
DiMaggio tortured them or why
he and Hannah Anderson

questions about how and why
he targeted his best friend’s
family and fled with a girl who

its head.

The woman, who is about 20

BAMAKO, Mali — Official
results from Mali’s runoff election show President-elect Ibrahim Boubacar Keita won in a

Keita’s opponent Soumaila
Cisse conceded defeat the day
after the vote and before results

Car bomb kills 14
BEIRUT — A powerful car
bomb ripped through a crowded
southern Beirut neighborhood
that is a stronghold of the militant group Hezbollah on Thursday, killing at least 14 people
and trapping dozens of others in

burning cars and buildings in
the latest apparent violence
linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria, officials said.
Groups opposed to Syria’s
President Bashar Assad have
threatened to retaliate against
Hezbollah for intervening on
behalf of his regime in the conflict. The blast raises the worrying specter of Lebanon being
pulled further into the Syrian
civil war, which is taking on an
increasingly sectarian tone.
It was the second such explosion in just over a month in
south Beirut, an overwhelmingly Shiite area tightly controlled by Hezbollah, and the
deadliest attack in decades
against the neighborhoods that
are considered key bastions of
support for the group.

It belongs to a grouping of

evidence in Stenson retrial skeleton
be on display
BY PAUL GOTTLIEB

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES —
Orders signed Thursday
give attorneys for Darold R.
Stenson access to key evidence in his upcoming double-murder retrial.
T h e
order was
signed by
Clallam
C o u n t y
Superior
Court Judge
George L.
W o o d , Stenson
county Prosecuting Attorney Deb Kelly
and University Place lawyer Blake Kremer, representing Stenson.
The evidence includes
the sweatshirt and bloody
pants that Stenson, 60,
wore the day in March 1993
that his wife, Denise, and
business partner, Frank
Hoerner, were killed.
The two were murdered
at Stenson’s Sequim-area
Kane Lane exotic bird farm,
Dakota Farms.
The
evidence
also

includes Hoerner’s jacket
and the headboard from the
room where Hoerner’s body
was found.
Stenson’s defense team
also was given access to
three containers of records.
The records include a
box of U.S. Bank checks
from Dakota Farms, an
open bag of financial records
and a box of bank records
from Washington Mutual
Bank — all of which can be
copied by Stenson’s lawyers.
“State will begin copying
no later than Aug. 19 at
11:30 and work eight hours
(business) per day until
completed,” the order states.

Kitsap County trial
Stenson’s four- to sixweek Kitsap County trial
on two counts of aggravated
first-degree murder is
scheduled to begin with
jury selection Sept. 16, little
more than four weeks from
today.
Testimony is expected to
begin Sept. 23.
Wood said help would be
provided for copying docu-

ments to maintain that
schedule.
The trial had been slated
for July 8, but a continuance was granted in June
till September.
“We need to get this matter going, and we are down
to the last few weeks before
going to trial,” Wood said.
A
motion-to-compel
hearing by Stenson’s lawyers is scheduled for 10:30
a.m. Wednesday in Clallam
County Superior Court.
If granted, his legal team
would have access to “several large (typically fourdrawer-high) filing cabinets
containing numerous financial documents related to
Mr. Stenson’s finances and
to the operation and
finances of Dakota Farms,”
Seattle lawyer Sherilyn
Peterson said in the motion
she filed Thursday.

Original conviction

turned the conviction in
May 2012, eight days before
his scheduled execution by
lethal injection.
“At Mr. Stenson’s first
trial, the state argued that
the defendant had a financial motive to commit the
murders,” Peterson said in
her motion.
“Notwithstanding the
importance of this issue, in
20 years of litigation, no
defense counsel has apparently reviewed or inventoried these filing cabinets.”
Kelly said if the motionto-compel is granted, “it
should not have any impact”
on the trial date.
Port Orchard lawyer
Roger Hunko, representing
Stenson, said Thursday “we
are hopeful” the trial still
would begin Sept. 16 if the
request is granted.
Stenson is being held
without bail in the Clallam
County jail.

Wiley said he’s not getting his hopes up. Entering
the contest was a result of
“needing to explore every
opportunity, throw everything on the wall and see
what sticks.”
Wiley, 56, has been
around the Wheel-In all his
life. The theater, which is at
210 Theater Road just
south of the junction of
state Highways 19 and 20,
was opened by his grandfather and is now in its 60th
year of operation.

Conversion costly
The cost of a digital conversion is about $80,000, a
prohibitive expense for
many theaters that are run-

ning on thin profit margins,
according to a statement
from Honda.
The cost of the projector
represents a majority of the
conversion expense, but
there are other necessary
purchases such as a server
that Wiley will need to
finance, he said.

1 of 100

As of Thursday afternoon, nearly 395,000 votes
had been cast. Vote totals
for individual businesses
will not be disclosed until
the contest ends.
“We don’t want to discourage theaters who have
lower vote totals from continuing their efforts,” he
said.
“We want to keep them
involved, since a lot of times,
they will be able to catch
up.”
The winning theaters
will be announced in September, and each winning
theater will host a free

film, at that time.

Scientists look

PASCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Researchers
are flying over Western
wildfires to sample the
thick smoke they emit and
study its role in cloud formation and climate.
The data-gathering campaign is intended to help
scientists flesh out one of
the least-understood areas
of climate: the role of aerosols, or particles given off by
wildfires, and how they
evolve over time.

the field study will contribute to a better understanding of how particles emitted

The study continues in

The researchers will
travel to Tennessee in October to study smoke plumes
from large agricultural
plumes.

Biomass burning, such
as forest fires and agricultural fires when farmers
burn off their farm fields,
has long been known to
release large amounts of
carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas, but less is known

PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 61-year-old
Port Angeles man has been sentenced to
two years of community custody and inpatient drug treatment after pleading
guilty to the theft of $30,927 in jewelry
from his former Sequim housemate and
possession of methamphetamine from a
separate incident.
Clallam County Superior Court
Judge George L. Wood sentenced Baldemar R. Gonzales on Thursday.
Investigators said Gonzales stole the
jewelry Dec. 29, 2011, and gave some of
it to three young women at a local motel.
The women were in their 20s, Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney John Troberg said
Thursday.
When one of the women asked if the
jewelry was â&#x20AC;&#x153;hotâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;legit,â&#x20AC;? Gonzales told
her â&#x20AC;&#x153;not to worry,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Brian Knut-

son wrote in the certification for probable cause.
Authorities became aware of Gonzalesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; involvement in the theft when an
officer overheard one of the women talking to her father about the jewelry over
the phone while the woman was in jail
on an unrelated charge, Troberg said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the jewelry was never recovered,â&#x20AC;? he added.
Gonzales originally was charged with
residential burglary, first-degree theft,
first-degree possession of stolen property
and three counts of first-degree trafficking in stolen property.
He pleaded guilty July 30 to amended
charges of second-degree theft and possession of methamphetamine as part of
a plea deal.
Gonzales has several previous drug
convictions from California and Oregon,
court records show.

August is one of those months
AUGUST. A DEAD shark
was found on a New York City
subway.
Meanwhile, at the Iowa State
Fair, vegan activists broke into a
refrigerated case in the Dairy
Building and threw red paint on
the butter cow.
In San Diego,
the mayor
Gail
claimed that the Collins
city should pay
the costs of
defending him
in a sexual
harassment
lawsuit because
he had never
been given sensitivity training.
I am bringing all these
things up to point out that you
can be selective about what you
have to worry about during
August.
It’s summertime. The living
should be easy.
Sometimes, if you relax,
things just work themselves out.
For instance, the butter cow
has been cleaned up and is more
popular than ever.
And it turns out that the
shark was dead before it got on
the subway.
Here in New York City, the

problem of Anthony Weiner for
mayor seems to be going away all
by itself, with no effort whatsoever on our part.
Weiner clocked in with an
unfavorable rating of 80 percent
in a recent poll, most of which
was taken before he called a
69-year-old opponent “grandpa”
at a forum sponsored by the
AARP.
On the other hand, there’s
San Diego.
You may remember that, in
July, Mayor Bob Filner was
charged with sexual harassment
by some of his former supporters
who claimed that, among other
things, he grabbed female workers around the neck and whispered lewd comments in their
ears.
That was the moment when
the nation first became aware of
the term “Filner headlock.”
Initially, the information was
all secondhand, and Filner vowed
that “the facts will vindicate me.”
Even then, things looked ominous.
For one thing, the facts-vindication defense had been preceded
by a vow to behave differently. It
was sort of like announcing that
you’re innocent but will definitely
never do it again.
Now, one lawsuit and about a

dozen public accusations later,
Filner is out of sight — allegedly
having gone off for two weeks of
sexual-harassment-rehab that
seemed to have ended early,
although there was also a claim
that it had started ahead of
schedule.
“Nobody knows where he is,”
said Steven Erie, a professor at
the University of California, San
Diego, and an expert in the city’s
dysfunctional local politics.
What Filner has definitely not
done is to quit.
In his last public statement —
which came out after every single
member of the City Council had
called for his resignation — the
mayor announced: “Now is not
the time to go backward.”
It is pretty much a rule that
any announcement that says it’s
not the time to go backward is a
sign that things already have.
Just as is having a headlock
named for you when you are not
a professional wrestler.
Also, the women who’ve
stepped forward include Filner’s
former communications director,
who’s filed the lawsuit, and a
nurse, who said he came onto her
when she was trying to get help
for a homeless ex-Marine who
had been injured in Iraq.
Also, the mayor is trying to

Peninsula Voices
PA’s City Pier
The beautiful Port
Angeles waterfront work
being done is really a step
in the right direction.
However, City Pier is
suffering from neglect.
The railings are literally
rotting away. Is no one
maintaining the pier?
In addition, the city of
Port Angeles has removed
the floating docks that
were at City Pier, describing them as rotting away
and a safety hazard.
The city has no intention of replacing them, at
least immediately.
Those floating docks
were quite a draw for
young and old, not only for
the tying-up of tourists’
boats. Young people
enjoyed being close to the
water and dropping crab
pots.
I believe local volunteers to build and maintain
replacement docks could
have been easily found.
Also, in the future, I
would hope the money
charged to tie up at City
Pier could be put in an
ongoing account toward
repairs of the pier and the
floating docks’ upkeep.
I’m not alone when I say
I miss the floating docks —
and the boats from all over
(and tourist money for our
city) they attracted, and
the pleasure the docks
brought by just being
there.
Please replace the floating docks. And please fix
the pier’s railings!
Dan Hart,
Port Angeles
EDITOR’S NOTE:
Hart is a former waterfront
columnist for the Peninsula
Daily News.
We asked Corey Delikat,
city’s parks and recreation
director, about Hart’s concerns. Here is Delikat’s
response:
The city does maintain
the City Pier to the best of
its ability, especially with
the limited funds that
parks maintenance
receives.

■ Railing: The city has
recognized for many years
that the City Pier railing
has been slowly deteriorating.
Approximately five
years ago, the middle section was replaced just east
of the City Pier tower.
At the time, this was
the worst section, and since
then other sections have
been identified that need
replacement.
Material for all of the
railing is $40,000.
In the 2014 budget
request, funds are tentatively identified for replacing additional sections.
This is a multiyear project predicated upon receipt
of funding.
■ The City Pier floats
are an amazing piece of
infrastructure that were
removed for safety concerns.
They have been in the
city’s Capital Facility Plan
for replacement since 2006.
The city is currently
working with the state
Department of Natural
Resources on specific
requirements associated
with new floats.
Upon receipt of this
information, it will set the
framework for developing
cost for replacement.
The next logical step is
identification of funding,
including grant opportunities.
Over the past five years,
moorage fees averaged
$3,800 per year, and those
funds were used for maintenance costs and repairs.
The average cost per
year for maintenance and
repairs on the floats was
$27,000.

Port needs change
Clallam County citizens
have expressed concerns to
the Port [of Port Angeles]
commissioners.
However, [the commissioners] seem to suffer
from that age-old problem:
“Deaf in one ear and can’t
hear out of the other”.
They ignored a protest
petition submitted at the
June 24 meeting asking
the port to reconsider the

get the city to pay his mounting
legal fees by arguing that San
Diego is responsible for everything because Filner never
received the sensitivity course
required for city employees.
“There is a very, very good
reason for mandatory sexual
harassment training; if nothing
else, it makes people think about
the subject and how they interact
with their fellow employees,” his
lawyer wrote.
Filner’s supporters — approximately 50 of them showed up for
a recent rally — claim the mayor
is still popular in poor and
minority neighborhoods.
He’d run against the downtown business hierarchy, and
progressives thought his election
would be the chance to turn
things around. You can understand their frustration.
But part of the point of being
a progressive is that there are
some things you just don’t tolerate, one of which is sexual
harassment.
Unless Filner quits, volunteers are going to start circulating recall petitions next week.
However, recalling an official
in San Diego is a stupefyingly
difficult process, involving a limited time span and more than
100,000 signatures of registered

city voters.
“This is summer — do you
know how many people are out of
town?” asked Professor Erie, who
envisions stacks of petitions
mainly signed by “tourists who
want to get in on the action.”
Let us stop for a moment and
give props to Anthony Weiner.
For one thing, his sexting
scandal did not involve allegations of forced grabbing and patting and kissing and rubbing.
In the category of being
thankful for small favors, we are
thankful that there have been no
claims that the former-congressman-turned-mayoral candidate
ever did anything untoward to
anyone he was in the same state
with.
Also, then he resigned and
went away.
Of course, he did come back.
But probably not for long.
Although we still may have to
spend September with Eliot
Spitzer.

Obama sets stage
for Hillary run
PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA proved himself a great
segue artist last week as he
smoothly glided from his previously unassailable position on
the matter of surveillance to his
new unassailable position on the
matter of surveillance.
There is no moral high ground
that he does not seek to occupy.
As with
drones and gay
Maureen
marriage, he
seems peeved
Dowd
that we were
insufficiently
patient with
his own private
study of the
matter.
Why won’t
the country
agree to
entrust itself to
his fine mind?
Yet while Barry is in the thick
of it, the air is thick with Hillary.
From the sidelines, she is soaking up a disproportionate amount
of attention and energy, as
though she were already Madam
President.
She is supposed to be resting
and off making $200,000
speeches, but instead she’s
around every political corner.
Meanwhile, Obama’s vaunted
campaign machine, which has
morphed into a political group
called Organizing for Action, has
sputtered in its attempt to tear
down Republican obstacles and
push through his agenda.
While President Obama
seems drained and disgusted at
the idea of punching through the
Republican blockade that awaits
him on his return from Martha’s
Vineyard, he told Jay Leno that
Hillary “had that post-administration glow” when they met for
lunch recently.
As the president was getting
ready for his news conference, his
former secretary of state was

dominating the news with an
event she didn’t even attend.
Emily’s List held what was, in
essence, Hillary’s first Iowa campaign event, titled “Madam President” and featuring Claire
McCaskill, the Missouri senator
who famously broke away from
Clinton Inc. to join the Obama
revolution in 2008.
Now McCaskill, who once said
she wouldn’t trust Bill Clinton
near her daughter, is presciently
back in the fold, on board with
Ready for Hillary, the super PAC
supporting Clinton for 2016.
As ABC News’ Michael Falcone reported from Iowa, the
state that allowed Obama to
vault over Hillary, McCaskill said
she’s dreaming of “that moment
in 2017 when we can say ‘Madam
President’ to Hillary Rodham
Clinton.’ ”
It’s being called Hillary’s
“shadow campaign.” But the
shadow campaign actually began
when she was secretary of state.
Obama granted his former
rival special privileges and
allowed her to move Hillaryland,
with all her loyal image-buffers
and political aides, into the State
Department intact.
Because he doesn’t traffic in
the unseemly nitty-gritty of politics that is mother’s milk to the
Clintons, Obama has been somewhat naïve in how he has handled the imagery of their relationship.
West Wing strategists did not
totally trust Hillary after the bitter 2008 battle.
They thought by pulling the
former secretary of state close,
Obama could ensure that Hillary
was not out there re-creating
events and decisions or taking
more credit than she deserved —
as she sometimes did during her
2008 campaign.
So Obama did not seem fully
aware, with their cozy joint “60

Minutes” interview and their
laughing al fresco lunch at the
White House recently, that
instead of co-opting Hillary, he
looked like he was handing her
the White House silver on a silver platter.
The Clintons can present
those images as Obama passing
the torch and bypassing Joe
Biden, just as Bill once took a
simple handshake from JFK during a Boys Nation visit to the
White House and turned it into
an Arthurian moment.
Many Democrats are hungry
to make history again, and they
see the first woman president as
the natural successor to the first
black president.
But in other ways, Hillary is
not such a natural successor.
The Clintons are ends-justifythe-means types with flexible
boundaries about right and
wrong, while the Obama mystique is the opposite.
His White House runs on the
idea that if you are virtuous and
true and honorable, people will
ultimately come to you. (An ethos
that sometimes collides with
political success.)
Some of the excitement about
Barack Obama was the prospect
of making a clean start, after
years of getting dragged into the
Clintons’ dubious ethics and personal messes.
Yet Obama ushered in the
return of Clinton Inc. and gave it
his blessing.
What he doesn’t seem to realize yet is that Hillary’s first term
will be seen, not as a continuation of Obama, but as Bill Clinton’s third term.

Meet
27-year-old Julio Miguel BlancoGarcia.
An illegal alien from Guatemala, he has lived and worked in
Fairfax County, Va., for at least
11 years.
The region is a notorious
“sanctuary” for immigration lawbreakers where elected officials
and big business look the other
way for cheap labor and cheap
votes.
When he wasn’t working illegally as a construction worker in
the government-fueled Boomtown ’burb or getting himself
high on drugs, Blanco-Garcia was
building up a lengthy rap sheet.
According to Fairfax County
court records cited by FairfaxCityPatch.com, Blanco-Garcia has
been arrested for:
■ Public swearing/intoxication in March 2010.
■ Petty larceny in September
2011.
■ Concealment/price alteration of merchandise in April
2012.
With the feds granting blanket amnesty waivers by administrative fiat and refusing to fix the
deportation abyss, coupled with
brazen “don’t ask, don’t tell”
sanctuary policies by local officials, Blanco-Garcia managed to
escape detention and deportation
for more than a decade.
In December 2012, the Capital

Area Regional Fugitive Task
Force (which includes U.S. Marshals staff, Fairfax County police,
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, and D.C. fugitive
operations officers) finally caught
up with Blanco-Garcia.
They detained him after
determining “that he was in violation of U.S. immigration law.”
But it was too late for 19-yearold college freshman Vanessa
Pham.
In July 2010, the bubbly art
student’s decision to be a good
Samaritan to open-borders beneficiary Blanco-Garcia cost her
life.
After getting her nails done at
a Fairfax Plaza salon, she
encountered the illegal alien and
his infant daughter in the parking lot. Blanco-Garcia was strung
out on $400 worth of PCP.
According to prosecutors, he
asked Pham to take him to the
hospital. She let the man and his
baby into her car.
When Pham took a wrong
turn, Blanco-Garcia turned on
her — stabbing her more than a
dozen times with a knife he was
carrying.
She veered into a ditch; he
coldly wiped her blood off of his
hands with a baby wipe and
clambered out of the sunroof
with the child.
Cops found the blade of the
murder weapon, with the killer’s
DNA, under Pham’s seat.
But for nearly three years, her
friends and family agonized as
the DNA remained unidentified
and the case unsolved.
The investigative break?
Blanco-Garcia continued his
criminal havoc — surprise, surprise — and attempted to steal
several bottles of champagne
from a local grocery store.
He was convicted of larceny in
April 2012. By December, law
enforcement had tied his fingerprints to Pham’s murder.
Blanco-Garcia’s trial begins
next week.
True to form, the whitewash
media have ignored Blanco-Garcia’s immigration status and the
public policy implications of our

government’s systemic, bipartisan refusal to enforce the laws
already on the books.
The Washington Post (which
employed illegal alien reporter
turned amnesty activist Jose
Antonio Vargas for years and glorified the amnesty mob marches
in 2006 and 2007) conveniently
failed to mention Blanco-Garcia’s
illegal alien status.
Some crimes are more equal
than others.
According to immigration
activists pushing to grant Guatemala “temporary protected status” — a de facto amnesty program run by the Department of
Homeland Security that confers
permanent residency, taxpayer
subsidies and preferential
employment treatment to linejumpers, border-crossers and visa
overstayers — there are approximately 1.7 million Guatemalans
in the U.S.
A whopping 60 percent of
them, like Blanco-Garcia, are
here illegally.
That’s on top of the jaw-dropping backlog of 500,000-plus fugitive deportees who had their day
in immigration court, were
ordered to leave the country and
then were released and
absconded into the ether.
And that’s on top of 1 millionplus visa holders whom the feds
have lost track of because Congress never bothered to fulfill its
legislative mandate to create a
functioning entry-exit system —
something Washington, D.C., has
promised to do six times over the
past 17 years.
The horrific murder of Vanessa Pham was 100 percent preventable. Blanco-Garcia never
should have been here in the
first place.
After each encounter with law
enforcement, he should have
been detained, deported and kept
out. For good.

SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A few
things will be different at
this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hempfest, the
22-year-old summer â&#x20AC;&#x153;protestivalâ&#x20AC;? on Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront where tens of thousands of revelers gather to
use dope openly, listen to
music and gaze at the
Olympic Mountains in the
distance.
The haze of pot smoke
might smell a little more
like victory, after Washington and Colorado became
the first states to legalize
marijuana use by adults
older than 21.
Having won at the state
level, speakers will concentrate on the reform of federal marijuana laws.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant to be ironic.

pot is illegal and that, festivals aside, public use is
illegal.

Pinks and silvers
The hatchery chinook season
ended Thursday in Marine Areas 5
(Sekiu) and 6 (Port Angeles).
Now the focus is solely on silvers
and pinks.
Pinks seem to be stealing the
show right now, and probably will
until they finish their run.
“Humpies and coho don’t play
well together in the water, so the
best coho fishing . . . won’t be until
most of the humpies have gone by,”
Norden said, adding that the pinks
will probably finish in early September.
More and more pinks are being
caught in Areas 5 and 6, and Sekiu
had a nice coho day Sunday.
Beach fishing for humpies in
Admiralty Inlet is going pretty well,
but Norden said, “The big schools of
pinks seemed to be migrating just
far enough offshore, so the beach
casters couldn’t quite get to them.
“The anglers who did the best
were the ones who anchored their
boats just off the beach in about 25
to 30 feet of water and cast toward
the rolling humpies as the schools of
fish went by.
“Some of those anglers reported
getting 20 to 25 humpies in a couple
hours.”

PORT ANGELES — The
National Taekwondo Junior
Demonstration team from

extended stay and three performances of their worldfamous acrobatic martial arts
and board-breaking demonstrations.

Grandmaster R.A. Nicholls
of White Crane Martial Arts
in downtown Port Angeles is
bringing the team in and will
host it for 21⁄2 weeks at his
gym.
“We heard they loved Port
Angeles and wanted to come
back, so we agreed to host
them again,” Nicholls said.
“What we didn’t know was
that they loved us so much
they are bringing twice as
many performers and staying
twice as long as last time.
“Thankfully, individuals
and church groups have
stepped up and offered to
help either with cash donations or hosting kids in their

homes for the cultural experience.”
It is not too late to host
team members, but a background check is required,
Nicholls said. White Crane
can perform the background
checks instantly at the gym.
The team consists of 23
boys, ages 8 to 15, five girls
and five coaches.
The first of their shows
will be at 5 p.m. on the
Wilder Stage at the Clallam
County Fair on Sunday.
They will break boards,
perform martial art routines
and self-defense demonstrations in the high-kicking

Korean style of martial arts,
taekwondo.
The biggest show, which
sold out at that time two

Peninsula College Martial
Arts class and will be held in

5 p.m.
Tickets are on sale now
and will go fast, so those who
wish to entertain their children with high-flying martial

Player makes
defense work

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON — On a team
where Marshawn Lynch is the
beast, Russell Wilson is a media
darling and Richard Sherman
seemingly can’t stop receiving
attention, the most important
player in the Seahawks starting
lineup could arguably be their
free safety, Earl Thomas.
Questions like this make
Thomas uncomfortable.
The confidence he shows on
the field takes a backseat when
Seattle’s star free safety is asked
if he is the reason the Seahawks
work defensively — even more
so than their brash cornerbacks,
more so than their talented linebackers or pass rushers.
It’s natural when he tries to
deflect praise as much as possible.
“I don’t want to say it’s all
about me as far as I don’t ever
want to come across like that,
especially to my teammates,”
Thomas said.
“I think it’s a collective effort
but I play a big role, just me
being back there.”
Last season the Seahawks
were the best scoring defense in
the NFL.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seattle safety Earl Thomas is considered the defensive
quarterback.
When their offense sputtered
early in the season, it was
Thomas and his defensive mates
that held Aaron Rodgers and
Green Bay to just 12 points,
shut down Tom Brady and New
England in the second half and
made life miserable for Dallas
and Tony Romo.
And the Seahawks are able
to play the way they do defensively because Thomas is such a
unique mix of speed and skill

roaming the back end, waiting
to clean up any messes.
But in trying to explain how
Thomas makes Seattle’s defense
work, there is another story
about how he’s taken those raw
skills that made him the 14th
overall pick in the 2010 draft
and through a mix of maturity,
study and determination has
created an All-Pro who is still
only 24 years old.

SPORTS/BUSINESS

AN ANGLER’S LIFE can be a
frustrating life.
Let us count
Lee
the ways.
One: HatchHorton
ery chinook fishing in Marine
Area 9.
The fishery
closed Aug. 4,
about four
weeks early,
because the king
quota had been
met.
But, that
doesn’t mean the
kings have stopped swimming
through Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet).
For the most part, the chinook
run is over, but there are still a few
stragglers.
Ward Norden, a fishing tackle
wholesaler and former fishery biologist, said anglers need to be careful
to avoid harming the remaining
kings.
It can be difficult to reel in a
huge king and have to carefully
release it back into the water.
“One angler reportedly hooked
what he said was a 37-pound hatchery king and was so disgusted, just
went home,” Norden said.
Two: Pinks running up the
Dungeness River.
Again, awful timing, because the
Dungeness doesn’t open to fishing
until Oct. 8.
I’ve heard a few reports of schools
of pinks swimming up this Clallam
County river.
“They’re so thick you can walk on
them,” Bob Aunspach of Swain’s
General Store (360-452-2357) in
Port Angeles said.
Three: Thieving sea lions.
Lonnie Archibald, a freelance
photographer for the Peninsula
Daily News, went salmon fishing
near LaPush earlier this month
with his son and grandson.
They caught their limit of coho
and reeled in one chinook.
But the trio had to fight with sea
lions for their catches.
“Sea lions off LaPush have
learned to follow fishing boats off
the Quileute village for free salmon
meals,” Archibald wrote in an email
that included a photo of a sea lion
that narrowly missed pilfering a
salmon. (See the photo on Page
B7)
“They often wait for fishermen to
hook kings and silvers, then attack
like sharks, consuming that which
the sportsman had traveled 10 to 20
miles off the coast in hopes to harvest.
“Sea lions are becoming a nuisance to sportsmen.”

ninth inning of a baseball game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals

Hawks: Thomas a safety net Camp: Injuries
CONTINUED FROM B5
He was just the second
Seattle safety to ever be
named first-team All-Pro,
joining Kenny Easley.
“When he first got here
he was so enthusiastic
about the opportunity to get
out there and kind of create
certain things and create
certain situations, and the
more that he has played the
more he has begun to
understand it’s not about
creating opportunities, it’s
about capitalizing on opportunities,” Seahawks defensive backs coach Kris Richard said.
“And you capitalize on
opportunities by being
where you are supposed to
be, by film study and by
calculation and by taking
your calculated risks.

“That’s pretty much
where it’s been. It’s time
spent in the film room and
ultimately his maturation
as a leader overall, and he’s
taken off.”
Before Thomas became
the star student, the raw
skills needed to be there.
And much of what Seattle does defensively is predicated on what Thomas can
do from the back.
Thomas is undersized
for a free safety but his
speed and ability to make
plays on the ball in the air
make up for that lack of
stature.
Just how fast is Thomas?
The Seahawks have red
lines running the length of
their practice fields, inset
just a few yards from the
sidelines.
The space between the

red lines is the area a safety
is expected to cover.
“They say from red line
to red line here, but he can
get sideline to sideline,” cornerback Brandon Browner
said.
“He can open up the
wrong way and get back to
the other side before the
ball gets there. That’s the
kind of speed he has.”
Because Thomas has
that kind of speed and the
ability to cover ground, it
allows Browner and Sherman to play the physical,
press defense that fits their
styles, knowing that their
help will be able to get
there.
“It just allows them to be
normal. It’s as simple as
that,” Richard said. “Having
a free safety of this caliber

allows the corners to be
normal.”
Thomas is considered
the quarterback of the
defense, so it’s no surprise
he’ll sit and watch film with
Wilson.
He studies alignments
and splits, looking for any
signal of what might be
coming.
It was a trait Seattle
defensive coordinator Dan
Quinn noticed during
Thomas’ rookie season.
“There were times he’d
come up and want extra
meeting time and information with the guys,” Quinn
said.
“He didn’t want to be a
rookie that just ‘I’ll figure it
out.’ He was more and more
and more. The other thing
that jumped out at me was
his practice habits.”

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. cut its annual profit and revenue
outlook Thursday as the world’s largest retailer expects a tough economy
at home and abroad to continue to
squeeze its low-income shoppers
through the rest of the year.
Wal-Mart also reported secondquarter results that missed Wall
Street estimates. The company’s stock
fell nearly 2 percent.
The spring and early summer
showed some improvement from the
first quarter, but overall, it was a
tough first half of the year for the
discounter.
Wal-Mart’s sober assessment of
consumer spending adds to worries in
earnings from Macy’s Inc. and Kohl’s
Corp. Both lowered their expectations
for the year after reporting disappointing results.
Wal-Mart is considered an economic bellwether because the retailer
accounts for nearly 10 percent of nonautomotive retail spending in the U.S.
The latest performance indicates
many households continue to struggle.
While jobs are easier to get and the
turnaround in the housing market is
gaining momentum, the improvements have not been enough to sustain spending for most Americans,
who are juggling tepid wage gains
and higher costs of living.
On top of that, Wal-Mart said
recent tax changes have further put
pressure on its shoppers. Americans
are dealing with a 2 percentage-point
increase in the federal Social Security
taxes taken out of their payroll checks
since Jan. 1.
That means that take-home pay
for a household earning $50,000 a

year has been sliced by $1,000.
“The retail environment remains
challenging in the U.S. and our international markets, as customers are
cautious in their spending,” Wal-Mart
Chief Financial Officer Charles Holley said in a statement. He noted a
“reluctance” among its customers to
spend on discretionary items like flatscreen TVs.

Jobs, food costs, gas prices
During a call with the media, Holley said the top three concerns among
its customers are jobs, food costs and
gas and energy prices.
The Bentonville, Ark.-based
retailer said its second-quarter profit
rose 1.3 percent to $4.07 billion, or
$1.24 per share, for the three months
ended July 31.
That compares with $4.02 billion,
or $1.18 per share, a year earlier.
Net sales rose 2.4 percent to
$116.2 billion. That figure excludes

membership fees from its Sam’s Club
division. Analysts expected earnings
of $1.25 per share on revenue of
$118.09 billion.
Revenue at stores open at least a

business fell 0.3 percent. That’s considered an important measure of a
retailer’s performance. Analysts were
expecting a 0.7 percent gain.
The decline marks the second
straight quarter of declines for the
stores after six straight quarters of
increases. U.S. Wal-Mart stores
account for 59 percent of the company’s total sales.
Adding in Sam’s Club and international stores, revenue at stores open
at least a year was flat. It rose 1.7
percent at Sam’s Club.
The U.S. decline was less steep
than in the first quarter, when WalMart’s U.S. stores had a 1.4 percent
decline in revenue at stores opened at
least a year.

NEW YORK — A lawsuit
seeking class-action status
says that the American
Heart Association lets Campbell Soup use its “HeartCheck” certification in
exchange for fees, even when
the company’s products don’t
meet the group’s nutritional
recommendations.
The suit centers on what
qualifies as a healthy
amount of sodium.
On its website, the
American Heart Association says people should aim
to eat fewer than 1,500 mg
of sodium per day.
But Amit Chitre, a representative for the group,
said in an email that the
AHA doesn’t make recommendations on what qualifies as an appropriate level
for an individual serving.
A can of Campbell’s
“Healthy Request” Chicken
Noodle Soup, which bears
the certification mark in
question, is listed as having
410 milligrams of sodium
per half-cup serving; there
are two or more servings
per can, meaning there
would be at least 820 milligrams per can.
To earn its “HeartCheck” certification, products must have no more
than 480 milligrams per
serving, according to the

AHA’s website.
But the website also
notes that “low sodium” is
defined as having 140 milligrams or less per serving,
the lawsuit notes.
The lawsuit states that
the AHA’s seal of approval
misleads people into thinking that products made by
Campbell “possess some
cardiovascular benefit not
enjoyed by products that
have not been certified by
the AHA.”
It states the only difference is that Campbell pays
money for the certification.
Campbell Soup said in
an email that the company
hasn’t been served with the
lawsuit and couldn’t comment on it as a result.

‘Complete confidence’
But the Camden, N.J.,
company said it had “complete confidence” in the
accuracy of its labels and
that they meet regulatory
requirements.
The American Heart
Association said it doesn’t
comment on pending litigation. It said its food certification program conducts
lab testing to verify products that earn its certification meet nutritional criteria, which are more stringent than those of the Food
and Drug Administration.

DEAR ABBY

Dear Abby: I fervently want to
help my daughter and her father
(my ex) fix their relationship. They
are both a lot alike: bullheaded and
stubborn. They can’t see how much
they hurt each other.
My daughter feels he has chosen
his “new” family (wife and stepchildren) over her because she isn’t
invited to family game nights, dinners out, etc.
He feels she doesn’t appreciate
what he does for her.
She’s expecting a baby (our first
grandchild) in December, and I think
they should try to mend fences
before the birth occurs.
We lost our son (her brother)
three years ago, and I know this figures into the family dynamic as well.
I just don’t want to see them hurt
each other anymore.

my jail cell.
I need advice on where to take
my career because I’m not getting
any younger. Or is it too late?
Over the Hill in New Jersey
Dear O.T.H.: You are not incarcerated, and you are only as trapped
as you choose to make yourself.
Most colleges have career counseling services, and you should avail
yourself of them.
If teaching children is your
heart’s desire, you will have to take
the time to prepare for it, know
ahead of time what opportunities are
available and what the compensation is.
Make it your business to find out
before making any drastic changes.
You’ll be glad you did.

PORT TOWNSEND —
There is a duet in this
show, singer Marlette
Buchanan says, that sails
like an arrow to the heart.
It has her joining
Heather Dudley Nollette
for “Good Morning, Heartache” interwoven with
“Willow, Weep for Me,” two
songs shot through with
emotion.
The duet is but one of
Buchanan’s favorite
moments in “Tin Pan
Lady,” the celebration of
female songwriters at the
Key City Playhouse.
Buchanan and Nollette
portray women from the
1920s up through the ’40s,
particularly those who contended with the male-dominated songwriting industry.

other relatively unsung
female writers.
This time around,
Dowdell and director
Denise Winter wanted a
tighter title — and they
wanted to catch Port
Townsend’s summer crowd.
For nearly three years,
Winter has been hearing
from people who saw
“Here’s to the Ladies!” multiple times. Then there are
those — local residents and
visitors — who never did
get to see it. Winter and
Dowdell figured they had a
thirsty audience, so they
invited Buchanan, who
lives in the Seattle area,
and Nollette, a Port
Townsender, back to
reprise their 2010 roles.
